kav Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Just think abt the most enraging things one could say about someone's mother, father, sister, brother, uncle and multiply by 1000. This will give you a tiny glimmer of what I am capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he said that to me, I just felt uncomfortable. Anger came later. As a rule I don't do good with confrontation and try to avoid it. I'm pretty easy going but anger quickly if you're a d-bag and I end up with assault charges. Avoiding confrontation is usually the best option. I just had a funny thought about it and would never really do it in person. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"you're gonna let that bother you" usually gets a "Yeah, at that price it does bother me" response. Just walk on. This is why I don't bother visiting comic stores when I go to new places. If I want something, I get it online. I imagine the comic book stores in LA and in the busier areas of California to be like New York. There is no reason to go to these places to look for comic stores. Precisely correct. It's generally a complete waste of time to walk into comic stores in California. They're mostly museums now. "But..but...but...but...muh OVERHEAD!!" It's called "competition." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner asked what I was looking for, said the Claremont X-men stuff, you know, 94 - 143. He pulled out a raw 118. There was a huge crease in the lower right corner that broke color and I said thanks but no thanks. "Why?" "Not a fan a the giant crease there," pointing to giant ugly crease. "Oh, you're gonna let that bother you?" I thought that was such an odd thing to say. Yeah it bothers me and I'm sure you were the first to point it out when you bought it from whomever you did.
